NEXT STOP: NEW ENGLAND

Moving on in our Tour of Homes Not in 80 degree October Weather is New England. Like Northern California, prices in Massachusetts, Maine, and New Hampshire are kind of out of control so I've included several townhome and condo options in this group, sticking to the $400k to $500k range in the Portland listings below.

A side note about this area: A couple of years ago we took a red-eye from SFO to Boston to attend my college roommate's wedding reception (those crazy kids eloped to Jamaica a couple of months before) in Newburyport. We accidentally took the wrong road out of the airport and instead of taking the freeway the 1.5 hours up the road we ended up driving along the coast of Massachusetts. What an absolutely beautiful area! In Salem we stopped to walk around and take a tour of the with museum. The town is adorable and as you would expect, quintessentially New England. I think it was Alan's favorite city of the few we stopped in on our tour of the area. While I'm no fan of living on top of your neighbors (hello screaming babies next door), there are a number of beautiful places in Salem that I would move into in a heartbeat. Portsmouth, New Hampshire, was another area that we really liked. Looking at the map today I was kind of surprised to see how close it is to Kennebunkport, Maine, another favorite vacation spot we've been to.

ABOUT US

Welcome to casacaudill - I'm Becky and the handsome man to my left is my husband of 12 years, Alan. We are shamelessly and ruthlessly ruled by our 14-year-old Himalayan, Dakota. We live in Oakland, CA, and we both work in technology. When people ask us what our hobbies are, we often wonder if eating & drinking qualifies, since we're quite adept at both. I fancy myself a pretty decent cook and Alan is an excellent sous chef and dishwasher. Zinfandel is our drink of choice, but we've also never met a whiskey or bourbon we didn't like. My greatest passions in life are reading and traveling and my favorite places on earth are Hanalei, Kauai, County Kerry, Ireland, Islay, Scotland, and Tofino, British Columbia.
